Explanation
'Insuperable' means impossible to overcome. In (a) it correctly describes difficulties that seemed impossible to surmount. In (b), (c) and (d) it is applied nonsensically — to going somewhere, to a person as an 'element', and to an administration remaining somewhere. Only (a) is correct.
